Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent of his income does he spend on rent = (425 / 1700) * 100

    = 425*100 / 1700

       = 425 /17

         = 25%

Answer:

The percentage of his income spend on rent is 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The total earning of Joel per month = $1700

The expenses as rent per month     =  $425

Let the percentage spend on rent = x% of total earning

Or,  $ 425 = x% of $1700

Or, $ 425 ×  100 = x × $1700

Or,  x = [tex]\frac{42500}{1700}[/tex]

∴    x = 25

Hence The percentage of his income spend on rent is 25%   Answer
